DOE Sec Solicited Education Letter to DOJ

This new, but we kind of knew it. The letter that the  NSBA teachers group sent to DOJ calling parents who balked at their lockdowns and CRT  'domestic terrorists' was solicited by the Biden/Harris administration's Dept. of Education Secretary. Fox, Education Secretary Cardona solicited NSBA letter comparing protesting parents to domestic terrorists: email "NSBA official said controversial letter followed 'a request by Secretary Cardona'" Ace, Collusion: Biden's "Education" Secretary Asked The National School Board Association to Write the Letter Asking for Protection Against Parental Domestic Terrorists, "This was a Biden initiative. They dishonestly arranged for someone on the "outside" to request it so they could claim they were not acting according to their own desires, but responding to someone else's plea.  This feels impeachable to me. . . . Related: DOJ to form "special" domestic terrorism unit. " Impeachable is whatever the House of Reps decides is impeachable. We learned that recently. Robert Spencer at PJ Media, BUSTED: Biden’s Education Secretary Solicited the Infamous Letter Likening Angry Parents to Domestic Terrorists

From Natalia Mittelstadt at  JTN, Michigan parents protest racial program, school board doubles down anyway, "Parents of K-12 students at the Farmington Public School District expressed concerns over Critical Race Theory being taught at their schools." Michigan Star, CRT in Schools: Farmington, Michigan, Parents Protest ‘21-Day Equity Challenge’ School Board Meeting. Greg Piper at JTN, NEA hid votes on 'white fragility,' Black Lives Matter, reparations amid new scrutiny "The nation's largest teachers union even scrubbed from its website its 2019 vote against 'renewed emphasis on quality education.'"

Jazz Shaw at Haut Hair,  Democrats: Maybe we should stop supporting school closures. Too late, you're tied to them forever.  John Sexton at Haut Hair, Politico Magazine: School closures made me question my progressive politics. Althouse reacts with "I’m well aware of the stereotypes of white parents choosing the private-school option when the going gets tough at public schools."

"I told myself that prioritizing being a 'good leftist' at the expense of my son’s well-being wasn’t good parenting, but as a red-diaper baby myself, the white guilt dies hard... Sending my kid to private school was accompanied by a lot of angst.... The pandemic, and the school-reopening debate in particular, has thrown me into an ideological mid-life crisis, questioning all my prior political assumptions. I’m still attempting to hold onto the progressive label while calling out the policies I see as antithetical to it, but the longer fellow progressives support new school closures and other policies that restrict kids’ lives in order to allay the anxieties of adults, and have been shown to cause far more harm than benefit, the more alienated I feel."

AP, Biden to back filibuster changes to push voting rights bill. Because he knows they can't win without cheating. At Da Caller, Biden Calls For Ending The Filibuster To Pass Voting Rights Legislation. AllahPundit at Haut Hair has a wet dream, Biden goes nuclear in Georgia: It's time to get rid of the filibuster.  Jazz Shaw at Haut Hair, Midnight Mitch: Here's what happens if you kill the filibuster. Paybacks are hell. WaPoo fears In pivot to voting rights, Biden risks falling short on a second big goal. Ed Driscoll at Insty, BIDEN SAYS THOSE WHO OPPOSE DEMOCRAT VOTING RIGHTS BILL ARE ON THE SIDE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS. Capt. Ed at Haut Hair says Fail flail: Schumer's super-secret plan to pass voting bill has one problem, lack of votes. Da Caller, Manchin Delivers Democrats Another Blow, Refuses To Back Filibuster Repeal.

Fox, Stacey Abrams will miss Biden’s voting rights speech in Georgia and Biden tells reporter he's 'insulted' at idea he felt burned by Stacey Abrams skipping GA voting speech. She needed to get her hair done. Or she knows a sinking ship when she sees it. Matt Margolis at PJ Media, Why Did Stacey Abrams Skip Biden’s Speech? Trump Has a Theory  “Stacey knows that Biden actually lost BIG in Georgia, and in the 2020 Presidential Election as a whole, and he’s been so terrible she now wants nothing to do with him.” At Breitbart, even CNN’s Tapper notices Democrats ‘Only Complain’ About Strict Voting Regulations in Red States. WaFree Bee, Virginia-Based Voter Suppression Group Paid Thousands to Voting Rights ‘Champion’ Marc Elias, "Liberal lawyer worked for PAC that worked to suppress GOP support for Glenn Youngkin". From Paul Mirengoff at Power Line, Is ensuring election integrity anti-democratic?  No, it's anti-Democrat. 

Tom Knighton at Tilting at Windmills, Voting Rights Really Are Under Attack, by giving voting rights to aliens. Fox, RNC sues NYC Mayor Adams over law allowing noncitizens to vote. Doug Bandow at Am Spec, Voters Should Be Committed to Their Communities. Michael Goodwin at NYPo, Anyone-can-vote madness hits NYC, serving up yet another far-left victory.

Anxious anxiously plumps for House committee calls for changes to Trump-cited electoral act. AllahPundit crows Senate working on bill that would "Trump-proof" elections. Also from Natalia Mittelstadt at JTN, Dems' bid to tar 2020 election skeptics belied by left's own history of contesting voting results, ""Remember, Democrats objected to counting the electors every single time a Republican was elected president this century," Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) told the John Solomon Reports podcast."  Ace, Kevin McCarthy: When We Take the House, We're Stripping Ilhan "Omar" Nur, Eric Swalwell, and Adam Schiff of Their Committee Posts, "It's not everything but it's something. I am happy about the Schiff defenestration most of all. . . .Although all three are security risks."

An interesting one from Tristan Justice at Da Fed, Did Fauci Interfere In The 2020 Election? Special Counsel Says It’s A ‘Close Call’ "‘Dr. Fauci disregarded its best practices around the Hatch Act and enabled his official position to be used ‘to make a political point.”

At the New Hampshire Journal, State to Monitor Windham Elections After Town Caught ‘Cutting Corners,’ Ignoring Law. JTM, Pennsylvania Senate Republicans score court victory in elections investigation, "Court ruled Department of State did not provide a clear legal right to quash the subpoena." But why do they need to withhold information if, as Henry Olsen at WaPoo opines How do we know Trump’s election fraud claims are bogus? Take a look at Pennsylvania.

Paul Bedard at WaEx reports Trump leads Biden by five, locks in lead. AllahPundit has another orgasm at  a WSJ op-ed: Why not Hillary in 2024?. Althouse, If Trump is coming back, why not Hillary too? Let's relive 2016 in 2024. Wouldn't that be great? "I'm lured into this absurd clickbait at The Wall Street Journal: "Hillary Clinton’s 2024 Election Comeback/Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have become unpopular. It may be time for a change candidate""

And then there were 26. John Sexton at Haut Hair, Another House Democrat decides not to seek reelection, Rep. Ed Perlmutter (Colo.). Insty, YOU DON’T NEED TO BE A WEATHER MAN TO KNOW WHICH WAY THE WIND BLOWS: Ed Perlmutter says he won’t seek reelection, upending Colorado’s 2022 political landscape. "If an incumbent is worried a seven-point advantage might not be enough…"

KT at Haut Hair, Abbott strategically launched his re-election campaign in the Rio Grande Valley. Ground zero of the immigration crisis. Insty, REPUBLICANS POUNCE! DeSantis Reelection Campaign T-Shirts Cash In on Florida Vacationing Dems. ADN America, Latinos are moving to Republican-led, low-tax states "Republican-led states like Texas, Florida, North Dakota and South Dakota have seen the fastest growth in their Latino populations" Everybody likes getting tax money, but nobody likes paying taxes.

Wa Free Bee, Poll: Just 40 Percent of Michigan Voters Would Reelect Whitmer, "48 percent say state is on the 'wrong track'" Ooof! Da Beasts Matt Lewis at YaHoo!, Dems Had One Job: Don’t Be Crazy. They’re Mucking It Up.

Bruce Thornton at Front Page discusses Democrats civil war fear mongering in The Gumption for a Civil War? "Are we in a time of unprecedented political polarization?"

Much of this melodramatic prophecy bespeaks the progressives’ anxiety over the coming November electoral backlash against their manifest political failures and arrogant assaults on our unalienable rights, from tyrannical covid mitigation policies, to blatantly racist, anti-American school curricula. And for over a century, progressive technocrats have thrived on existential crises real and imagined, the “moral equivalent of war,” as William James put it in 1906, that demands expanded government power and diminished citizen freedom. Prophecies of actual war reflect the progressives’ habit of using hyperbolic rhetoric to gin up the panic and fear that justify increasing the nanny-state’s aggrandizement of more power.
